I'll be Bela Lugosi
You be Marilyn Monroe
You can overdose
And I will turn to stone
When the sun comes up
Through the broken window
In the embrace of death
We can finally be alone
I've never had safe sex in my life
There's no such thing
There's an animal inside me
That wakes up when you sing
It will protect you whether you want it to or not
Give me everything you got
Feasting on my tawdry limbs
Give me everything you got
Well we can pretend if you like
But I don't want to know
She was murdered in the dark
But I don't want to know
By a vengeful lover
Or a black government crow
I hope you sleep well in the arms of your army
But I don't want to know
I've never had safe sex in my life
There's no such thing
There's an animal inside me
That wakes up when you sing
You are in love with a monster
You are married to a ring
I don't care if you don't want me
You will want what I'm becoming
Always with the want me, want you, want her
Endlessly, the want me, want you, want her
Give it up, the want me, want you want her
Come to me, I want you, just you, just you
Just you.

One Thousand Wolves
03:44

There's something wrong with me
I am not one of these human beings
I'm all twisted up and gnarled like a tree
I fell in love with one thousand wolves
And they are coming to devour me.
I only feel alive when the world is dying
When the leaves fall on my heart
I only feel alive when I'm crying
I only feel alive tonight.
My head is humming like a radio
There's something in their eyes
Something like I've never seen
Two thousand diamonds on the ocean tides
And when the tide grows high
I'll let them take me.
I only feel alive when the world is dying
When the leaves fall on my heart
I only feel alive when I'm crying
I only feel alive tonight.
My head is humming like a radio
Tonight...

Junkyard Dogs
03:33

It's freezing, it's freezing out here
Take me back home!
"You have no home."
We are junkyard dogs!
We will eat you alive!
We are the rabid and the wild!
Look into my eyes!
Bleeding, I'm bleeding to death out here.
You always said that I would.
"You have no home.
Don't come around here.
You have no home."
We are junkyard dogs!
We will eat you alive!
We are the rabid and the wild!
Look into my eyes!

The Town Monster Columbus
If synth pop wandered into a dark alley and found itself viciously beaten by a gang of guitar distortion and layered
rhythms, it might sound an awful lot like The Town Monster.
The music all culminates in The Town Monster's crushing live show, an electro bath of sensory overload. It finds out what happens when noise becomes symphony.
